Come see an awesome speaker at the Meet the Farmer event

Every year, farmer Aaron hosts a Meet the Farmer event. It’s a chance for you to try some yummy farm food, meet like minded farm customers, hear a talk by an expert, and get to know your farm a bit better.

Meet the Farmer 2020 will be on Saturday, March 28 from 12-4pm in Boonton, NJ.

The farmer, his wife Rebecca, his five children, and his farm staff will all be in attendance. You’ll be able to eat from a snack and drinks table, have a lovely lunch of soup and sandwiches, and indulge in some desserts.

This year we are honored to host Joseph Heckman, Ph.D., Professor of Soil Science, from Rutgers University. Professor Heckman will give a presentation about “Fresh food from fertile soil to human health”. 

He will draw connections between healthy regenerated soil, a healthy regenerated planet, and healthy regenerated bodies. He’s a supporter of farms doing things right and has done exhaustive research on the topic. 

If you want to prepare for the presentation or you can’t make it to the event, you can check out some of his publications here:

• Securing fresh food from fertile soil, challenges to the organic and raw milk movements
  Grass to The Glass
  The Role of Trees and Pastures in Organic Agriculture

I will be speaking about some “Big tips for buying high quality small farm food”. 

Buying food and supporting small farms is one thing to do in theory. But, in reality, it has its challenges. My goal is to help make small food a regular part of your family’s life with a little more ease.

And, of course, farmer Aaron will be speaking about what he does best --- farming!

Aaron’s mission is to produce the highest quality, best tasting food for his customers. He will talk briefly about how he farms and produces the products you love. Aaron stands for transparency. After he speaks, Aaron will answer questions from the crowd.

We really hope you can make it to this year’s Meet the Farmer event. Tickets are $10 for adults. It’s kid friendly - kids 17 and under are free.
